Day 18 - Shopping and Reminiscing
Well, here's the clique in taiwan:
Front: Richard Huang, Grover, Jeff, Tina, Angel, Richard Tsai, Bonnie, Mark
Back: Frank and me
Richard Huang and his wife brought me to 五分埔 to properly shop for clothes today as they said the jeans I bought was too ex. You need skills to 殺價 (Bargain) so I left that to his wife lolz. She's the skilled one. She even knew quite a few of the shop owners. The trick is that if they know you are buying 批貨 (in bulk for wholesale), then you get better price. So she said next time if I come alone, pull along a trolley and say I'm a shop owner. Lolz
They dropped me at 松山火車站 (Songshan train station) and I took a train to Taipei train station (NT$15) to change to the 高鐵 (High speed rail). Just before i was about to buy my ticket, I received a phone call from Richarh Tsai to halt! Turns out his mom wanted to meet me and she's in Taipei. So once again, the wind blows in a different direction and I ended up staying at Rich Tsai's grandma's house. Took the 捷運 (MRT) to 永和站 to meet them ($NT20).
His grandma's 84 and still really strong. When I asked her for her age, she refused to say so i counted it out and told her.. Oh... you're 48! And she laughed and nodded her head and said yes...yes... Lolz. Chatted with his mom till about 4am before going to sleep. Reminiscing about our days in Cttb. In my sleep at night, I dreamt of lil Charlie! I miss everyone in cttb...
